Clear Skin Power Salad

Looking for a salad that is full of nutrients, but can also help to keep your skin clear and blemish free? Well this combination of protein-packed,antioxidant-rich and vitamin-full ingredients can do just that! See below for the full recipe, as well as why this is my “Clear Skin Power Salad”.

(Serves 2)

Ingredients:

1 cup of spinach - The ultimate power food. This leaf is an amazing source of fibre, which can aid in digestion and prevent constipation. It is also full of Vitamin K, which helps to maintain healthy blood and bones. 1 cup of mixed lettuce - Lettuce contains Vitamin A, which can help to reduce the appearance of acne. It also contains potassium, which can help to hydrate the skin from the inside out.

*It is important, particularly for acne sufferers that you apply me at least once a week in combination to eating "clear skin food". Through the specific properties I am made from including, Neem Oil and Fuller Earth I strive to alleviate acne scars.

How do I alleviate acne scars? The Neem Oil makes me antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial which destroys the growth of bacteria whilst reducing inflammation and tenderness. Fuller’s Earth then compliments the Neem Oil by absorbing excess oil, balancing the pH level of the skin and removing scars with its natural lime content.

1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced - Avocado isfull of healthy fats, which can hydrate the skin and reduce inflammation. It also contains antioxidants, which can help protect against free radical damage.

1 cup cooked quinoa - In this salad, quinoa is the key to feeling satisfied! As well as containing essential vitamins, minerals and fibre, quinoa contains complex carbohydrates, which can provide you with long-lasting energy and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

2 teaspoons chia seeds - As well as containing protein, chia seeds contain Vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that can help to combat inflammation and wrinkles.
